in my nana's closet

One of my fondest childhood memories was going to my Grandparents house with my cousin Charlotte. We were the only granddaughters (until my sister was born) so we use to love to rummage through our Nana’s closets.

I say closets because Nana had every closet in the house filled with her wonderful fashionable bits and pieces. She was a dress maker and made all her own hats, gloves, shoes, frocks, handbags, the lot! Later she travelled the world with my Grandfather a lot and continued her collection, love and passion for fashion, collecting pieces that drip with style. As she still does today.

Every so often she decides to do a clean out and puts all the things she no longer wants into a suitcase. She calls up the 3 granddaughters and we zoom round there as soon as we can to pick the eyes out of the treasure chest.

about me

I’m just a little kiwi girl who is rather curious and interested in all kinds of things that happen around me. I think a lot in my head and if I don’t write them down or get them out they clutter my brain and I feel dizzy. So this is where I put them all.
This is not just a ground for me to record thoughts but also for you to give me your opinions on things as well (as a lot of the time I’m off in my own little world and need reminding on reality.) I like to see how ideas evolve, change and look at how things progress over time. Enjoy.
